I should explain something...in the next few sets of picture's if you look closely you will see Genevieve and others wearing a black arm band on the left arm just above the elbow. On Saturday last week, the Sultan of Johor Bahru passed away. We are in a 7 day period of mourning. All Muslim men have to wear their black and white felt hats, women wear either a white or black tadung...if you are not Muslim you wear a black arm band out of respect. The royal family will be in mourning for 40 days. So as you can see...we have black arm bands as the school has made it mandatory for all students...
A fascinating time in Johor...yet another cultural experience indeed.
